The Spanish union of pilots (SEPLA) has called off the strike of air traffic controllers of Saerco, which manages the control tower of Lanzarote, and which has been taking place since February of last year, contributing to placing the César Manrique on several occasions, among the airports with the biggest delays on the European continent.
From the air control company they "celebrate that there is finally hope in the collective negotiation." Union and employers have agreed that the professor of Applied Economics of the Autonomous University of Madrid, Miguel Ángel Ruesga, will arbitrate an award on the economic improvements of the staff. The temporal scope will be between 2023 and 2026. "The parties now have until the 24th to send the new arbitrator our version of the conflict," they say from Saerco.
"We ask for an increase according to the CPI and the incorporation of the center agreements unilaterally eliminated by Saerco and that we are winning in the courts," explains Susana Romero, national spokesperson for USCA.
In addition to the Lanzarote airport, Saerco manages the control towers of Fuerteventura, La Gomera and El Hierro in the Canary Islands. In the rest of Spain, it controls the flights of the airports of Burgos, Castellón, Coruña, Cuatro Vientos, Huesca, Jerez, La Palma, Seville and Vigo.
